Interesting Facts: 2% of people said they were pleased about
child sex slavery. 11% were irritated with it, 73% were outraged,
3% indifferent, 3% neutral.
So, if you don't care, you're not alone.
Perhaps some individuals won't care unless it happens to them.
Or, maybe not...
Here's a question. For those who don't care or are pleased -
what happened to you in your life that you wouldn't have any
compassion or empathy?
Were you spoiled or overindulged?
Were you treated as better than everyone else?
Did you have a great, happy, wonderful childhood with lots
of love, guidance and teaching?
Were you abused?
Were you raised to believe you were stupid?
Were you bullied?
Did you bully?
Do you think you never had a conscience, as far back as
you can remember?
Were you mistreated, and became embittered?
Were you raised to believe you were special, better?
Do you think you are a sociopath - someone who has no
guilt or remorse?
Do you only care about yourself?
Have you ever loved anyone else more than yourself?
If you did, and they were abused or hurt, did you care?
If you don't care, do you think you would ever change?
Do you think you are right for not caring, or being pleased
with child abuse?
Do you think you were born without a conscience?
Are you strictly for your own self and your own pleasures?
Hmmm....
If we ALL didn't care, would that be fine for you? In which
case, if you were victimized, you would be pleased, or at
least you wouldn't care. Right?
I think we all should care. It's totally wrong to hurt others,
exploit, hurt children.
And, if you just don't know why or don't care, then be brave
and admit it to everyone around you.

see these things? Not me! It is not pretty or fun to watch.
In fact, my life is so busy that how could I be expected to
really do anything about this? Donate? Spread the word?
yah... i could do that...
not that i REALLY want to. I'd much rather be off doing major
fun things and thinking selfish thoughts of glee and excess.
Point of this: If more people understood that their
bachelor party, or the places they go to find "sex" could be
stocked with victims of horrific enslavement and brutality,
they might reconsider what they are doing.
As a man (or woman) - do you think YOU or a FRIEND of yours
might have (inadvertently of course) engaged in acts with a
victim of the aforementioned ??
If so, do you have regrets? Will you try to help your friends,
associates see the error of their previous ways?
I think a society that allows any preying on it's children
and the innocent is doomed.
I often think that I would like to walk away from all
this dismal child and animal protection kind of stuff.
After all, I'm not very special in any way, no better or
worse than anyone else, and don't really do much
good one way or another.
And then, I also think that me and my friends will just
get a nice little mountain place at a family retreat and
live a comfy life with home grown food, peace and
safety. We'll raise animals, grow our own food, jump
into the lake, hang out at the nearby luxury tourist town.
We'll watch Satellite and cable, play The Sims and Halo
2 all day.
We'll sell on Ebay and Craigslist and do lots of Internet
marketing of this and that.
BUT...
then that makes me feel bored, or incomplete...
Because if I was just having tons of my own comfy fun
doing just for me, then I wouldn't be happy.
I guess that's my problem, that other peoples' problems
are a concern.
Who knows?
One day, maybe soon, I'll just walk away and give up.
Think of this though... you're really old, maybe 92 or 110.
You look back at your life, and it's been great. You've lived
in Vicabamba, or some idyllic Japanese village eating yummy
food and getting lots of mountain exercise.
Out there in the world, people have been suffering, but not
you.
Then, you lie in bed, sick, ready to die.
Good bye, you're gone... at that last moment... would you be
glad that you ignored helping others, avoided doing good for
others in desperate need? Just happy that at least, your life
was okay?
Me? I wouldn't be so happy knowing that I had walked away
from helping others. I don't think.
But, I've never lived in an idyllic mountain village, except Aspen
for a summer and it was cool. Good food, good skiing, good
family fun... but I thought at the time, when I grew up, that there
would be more to life.
as a kid - I cooked this gourmet meal as a surprise for my
aunt and uncle and 2 cousins.
I didn't know how to cook, but i had this gourmet cookbook
that i tried to follow -
made squab, liver pate, (those days ate meat), other fancy
stuff, and used EVERY POT AND PAN in the house - horrible
horrible mess that was hilarious.
THe happy part:
Seeing my aunt and uncle and cousins so happy and full of
laughter. Unforgettable.
It wasn't my happiness that made me happy - it was theirs.
OTHER SUPER HAPPY TIME:
When my Dad woke me at 4am, and eventually reluctantly
grumpily went birdwatching with him before dawn....
I will not ever forget this happiest day in my whole childhood.
With binocs, the birds started to rustle, awake and shake, sing.
The sun came up through the dew that sparkled like diamonds.
We were quiet, and the world was magical.
My happiness was seeing the promise of the birds, the promise
of the day, the beauty of the moment, my Dad's kindness and
devotion, willingness to do this just for his tiny daughter of 5.
He gave me an unforgettable moment.
And I really really wish that every child on earth could have these
moments.
I guess that's why i spend all this time writing, caring. Dunno!
Hey you know AdGuy always gets the last word! ;)
